About Us

History & Overview

The Lincoln Community Foundation was established in 2003. Thanks to a single generous contribution an endowment was gifted to initiate an investment fund. The Foundation continuously seeks and receives donations and gifts to bolster the investment. Interest earned from this investment is used to award grants to local nonprofit groups that better our community.

The Foundation works through a rigorous grant review process overseen by the Board of Directors. This approach allows the organization to guarantee both impartiality and a high level of professionalism in the grant adjudication process.

The Foundation’s driving goal is to build the endowment fund to $1,000,000 or more and to manage that fund with care to ensure its growth. These funds will help Lincoln provide the programs necessary to build a thriving, healthy and prosperous community. Accomplishing our goal depends on your support.
